Fedora or CentOS

Hello
I have a vps based on CentOS 4
and am using Fedora Core 5 on my desktop, I wonder should I use CentOS or I better stay with Fedora.
I new to linux and I want to learn for better support to my server

I agree. CentOS is perfect as a server as it is extremely stable. It also makes a very nice desktop. Fedora is way on the outside edge of the Linux envelope and you're likely to run into many more bugs and configuration problems. Some folks like that challenge though, so it's really a matter of preference.

I can echo most of the sentiments expressed here. If you want the latest and greatest but don't mind having to deal with broken packages or random program crashes, Fedora would be what you want. If however you want a functional system that's stable and doesn't require an awful lot of "fixing" on your part (but isn't always up-to-date on the latest programs) then go with CentOS.
